It seems as if terrorists are attacking everywhere now. Nigeria already has financial troubles and adding all this chaos and destruction will not help. In just this attack alone, 63 people were killed. The government needs to work on these problems and prevent future attacks from happening.

The most worrisome aspect of this article is that the terrorist attacks made by Boko Haram in Nigeria seem to be frequent occurrences. As others have also pointed out, the most sad part of it all is thinking of all of the innocent lives that have been taken. My biggest question is: where is the Nigerian government? Thankfully the American embassy has found a way to intervene and at least give the citizens fair warning before a Boko Haram attack might occur. If there could be at least some sort of reform or control taken within the state of Nigeria, terrorist organizations and extremist groups would not have so much of a reason to try and make a point of their beliefs by acting out in such a violent manner.

Terrorists need to understand that violence is not the answer. It angers me that this type of violence is becoming the norm for radical groups trying to get their point across. They are harming the entire country by making it hard for tourists to travel there and making Nigeria evacuate large hotels. This attack was not only a devastating blow to the people on Nigeria but also to the economy.

These terrorist attacks are limiting Nigeria's economic growth. The religious conflicts in Nigeria are making the region extremely polarized which is leading to a very negative perception of education and western ideas. If tensions are not calmed between these groups then civil unrest and economic upheaval is imminent. Groups like Boko Haram have no business causing this type of damage in the name of a so called "religion".

Boko Haram,suicide bombing,sharia etc reveals how much the North is ready to sacrifice to return power to its doors.The north is deeply blessed with possible suicide bombers because of the lack of education and social enlightenment in the region.The few that are educated now become demi-gods whose words means life or death to their people.Go to Eastern Nigeria and demand another to partake in a suicide bombing and he will break your head for venturing into his compound in the first place.The North is bacwards for it is only backwardness that inspires a suicide potency.Even Iran that are better shiates embraced Atomic Energy which is a dominant realm of western Education.The Boko Haram Suicidal bravery is a miscontrued notion and cannot be compared to that observable in the Middle east.The middle is fighting for a belief,Boko Haram is fighting for some selected leaders.

The weakness in the office of the presidency is also a concern.The presidency seem not prepared to exercise its executive powers.It is simply afraid of the north and not ready to sacrifice its life and make Nigeria a better place.It is as corrupt and selfish as the past rulers.Mr Jonathan wants to exhaust his tenure and leave the seat alive,leaving the country in perpetual agony and backwardness in the hands of the north.Nigeria is not a country.It is a conglomeration of selfish individuals waiting for their turn to bleed the oil wealth.Boko Haram is more serious in enforcing its theocratic desires than the phenomenal Nigerian government.How do you expect them to sacrifice their life in pursuit of Boko Haram?Nigeria is not their Father's Property.

The North wants the power back.They are born to rule and there are abundant of fools to sacrifice and enforce this.They have this tradition and this is not the first time.They do not want western Education now that a weak Southerner is in Power.They concentrate the attacks on their people because their is no learned voice to oppose it.Boko Haram have better strike targets in the West and East.Would they not carry out an attack on these places?The answer is NO because those people will resist and there will be a counter-terror which will distablize the Nigerian-oil identity which is the principal desire of their power drunk leaders.They cannot leave Nigeria,They've got nothing and no where to go.All they want is Power.

If only the president can be as brave as to exercise his executive Powers.He acts as if he was forced into the seat not understanding the inherent responsibilities it entails.

It's an interesting psychological mindset to have to think that terrorism is going to be a successful way to accomplish anything progressive. Terrorism spawns fear and that fear is the only thing that can keep the movement alive. To think that a momentous movement can be accomplished by something so temporary as fear is a thought process that I just simply don't understand. It's unfortunate that certain places are starting to accept these terrorist acts as a normal practice. We need to continue to fight against these actions no matter how normal they seem to be. Keep fighting against terrorism and keep progressing for the best future this world can have.

It is so sad to hear about suicide bombings still going on, personally I can't grasp the concept of it. Yes, it can show a persons nationalism and support for a certain group, but I still think it is one of the most extreme forms of terrorism that there is, and very sad along with that. Seeing past Boko Haram suicide bombings this past September, I think the government should have taken extreme precautions. This involves not only keeping the country and people of Nigeria safe, but also trying to figure out the core of this problem. It's so sad to see suicide bombings and innocent lives being taken, and something needs to be done about it.

Terrorist attacks are happening all over the world, more frequently. Most country can try and defend themselves and do something about it but it doesn't seem like Nigeria can. Another country needs to step in and help and take up for them because they would want someone to do they same for them. Something needs to be done or these attacks are going to keep happening and they are just going to get worse and spread and hurt more people.

Nigeria does not have any tourist industry and does not care having any because the leaders lack the economic and political will and vision. They are not genuinely interested in security overall because they feel personally protected given their money and power and voodoo (juju). Most of them belong to one secret society or the other where they feel they can draw spiritual power from. And they have all their children abroad and so have no cause to worry. Just don’t mind them. Just observe this, once there is a security issued by a foreign intelligence outfit such as the CIA and the likes, Nigeria president will rise up and respond by deploying troops. Nigerian has no intelligence and has no capacity to deal with security threats. Will be surprised that a Nigerian security chief will come on air now to assure the public there using their clause, ''there is no cause for alarm, we are on top of the situation'' and in the next minute, Boko Haram will strike? Just to tell you how incompetent they are.

This terrorist group seems to fuel of the oppositions tries to stop them. Goodluck Jonathan has deployed a joint-task force, only for Boko Haram to become more violent. The fact that there has been suicide bombings at the United Nations' offices and threats at the American embassy can only mean that outside intervention may occur very soon. Nigeria definitely needs aid against this terrorist group before more than the 100 recent deaths escalates.

Nigeria is rich in oil resources and is heavily explioted by colonial companies like Shell. The only gains to the country are (1) environmental damages to poor man livelihoods and (2) rise of social tensions between the corrupt comprador class and the incorruptible Islamist groupings. The bros are invariably on the rise everywhere as the Zionists in the White House seek proxies like them to dominate Africa and the rest of the developing world.

The rise of bros has been inadvertently a US conspiracy hatched by the Zionists in the White house in seventies to control the World through such proxies as the bros. The West have been paying for its rise ever since by invading the Ummahs. But have the new bunch of Zionists like Sarkozy, Hilliary etc. learn't anything? They are nurturing new bunch of bros for the future generations.

Terrorist attacks are never a good thing in a country but these days they are becoming more common. Something needs to be done about terrorist in the world. Innocent lives do not need to be lost because someone feels the need to blow something up. The main goal of these groups is to make the country miserable for everyone that lives there. In this case they are hurting the tourist economy in Nigeria. Business owners and workers then loose money because of this. A plan needs to be made to stop these groups and not let them affect the country as a whole. People should feel safe when they travel, especially to tourist countries. Hope this problem gets resolved and Nigeria did not loose too much money or tourism due to the attack.

The recent terrorist actions by Boko Haram in Nigeria are extremely upsetting and if it continues it will do serious harm to Nigeria and its economy. Tourism revenues will plummet and costs of rebuilding destroyed buildings will soar. It will be interesting to see how the Nigerian government will respond, and I think they need to dramatically increase there involvement. It will also be interesting to see if the US takes any action in deploying troops throughout the region. Hopefully it won't come to that.

Terrorist attacks and the rise of terrorist groups are at an all time high, especially considering the instability of several African countries. The division been the upper and lower class in these societies is quite large. The poor are looking for someone or something to blame due to their poor living conditions, so a lot of individuals turn to terrorist groups and rebel against the government as it seems like a probable way to make life better.

Goodluck Jonathan needs to improve infrastructure on the grounds of increasing security as best he can. Since the attack on the UN building in Abuja in August, he promised tightened security and insisted that the attacks were not on just Nigeria but on the international community, yet it seems Nigeria isn't getting the int. communities help that it needs. So he needs to tighten his own measures, and taking a page out of the current situation with the Basque Country and ETA, perhaps less use of force and more emphasis on negotiation could help Nigeria's residents feel safer.
